If Ford's in-house performance tuner, SVT Engineering, was worried about its Mustang Cobra model not making all the horses the company had promised, it's found an entirely new way of dealing with the problem: Blow it. The 2003-model SVT Cobra, which goes on sale in May, has an Eaton supercharger blowing about seven pounds of pressure into its 4.6-liter V-8. The result, according to SVT, is 390 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. The company has also fitted a six-speed manual transmission, bigger wheels and tires, stiffer springs and bigger anti-roll bars, and a big, bulging hood to the package. Expect to pay about $35,000.
